I keep cleaning sprays everywhere. If I see an insect, I spray at them first. It slows down their heart rate and calms them down, before I wipe them away.

should we only eat organic-certified cockroaches ?

Cooking them properly, or deep-frying them should make them safe to eat, although there may be some vitamin loss.

Toss them in with some salad and you're good to go. They could make a great turkey filling too!

I had a chocolate coated grasshopper once. Tasted like mint

[EDIT]

The grasshopper I mean, the chocolate wasn't mint flavoured.

Helping *** create multiple ID's is like helping rabbit's (or roaches) multiply. They don't need help, that's what they excel in !

I've now got fat lizards in my kitchen, dropping in thru the exhaust to snack on the roaches.
